Fundació Joan Miró

Why go

The Fundació Joan Miró is a museum of Joan Miró's work and of contemporary art in Parc de Montjuïc; this record is the museum, not the building by Josep Lluís Sert that houses it. Barcelona City Council's page says the museum was conceived by Miró himself to bring contemporary art to the public, that its building was designed by Sert, a close friend of Miró, and that its origins go back to Miró's 1968 exhibition in Barcelona. The same page says it holds the works Miró gave to Barcelona. Barcelona's tourism consortium says it was founded in 1975. Opening days, hours and booking rules are set by the museum, so check its own website before you go.
